Me and My Youth (2021)

Lovely lovely relationship

If you are reading this review, expecting the drama to follow the typical “annoying siblings to lovers” plot, you are so wrong.
The male lead is a smart caring older brother that will protect his younger sister (female lead) without her. The portrayal of his character is almost perfect - mature, composed, smart.
The most touching part is the flaw of this character, he lost a leg when he was younger! There were touching scenes where he detested himself for his lost leg and how he cannot protect his younger sister. He acted it out so well (afterall we all know that Linghe is an outstanding actor).
The touching scenes makes the warm hearted male lead to seem extremely vulnerable when he tries to protect the one he love and it just makes me break down with tears.

Moving on to the female lead, her actual age is only 16!! She portrayed her role just as fine as the Ml did. It’s often too adorable to see how the tiny small her tries to stand up for her older brother, thinking she can outraged the bullies. Though she is naive and innocent, she is extremely protective of her older brother and is mature enough to cheer him up when his down.
The interaction between both of them is not like any other drama and the love and care they show for one another will definitely warm up your heart.

Do not skip this drama because of the fact that the ratings are not that high, if you’re in for some touching high school drama, you’re on the right page :)!!

Just on Time!

Yeah it was Just on time. after a long trip i was bored. i was looking for a already aired drama. i was watching Till the end of the Moon, The Secret Romantic Guesthouse and Put Your Head on my Shoulder ( Re-watching) but the time Reached home i had finished all of the weekly episodes. and also Put Your Head on my Shoulder. so i spent my 3 Days just looking for a drama with my Taste. I've asked my friends. but one of them is busy with exam and another guy suggested me some Xianxia and Wuxia. but i was looking for a Modern and Fresh drama. i Don't know why i decided to watch this but i Don't Regret Now!

I am a Military Lover so I enjoyed Glory of Special Forces perfectly and that's my most favorite drama ever. but i never thought i will enjoy any other drama like that. i Don't hate any of those Characters and it wasn’t boring at all.

few people said Main Male Lead has the worst Family but i Don't think so. thay had There reason and everyone have rights to choice the way of there own life. if i am lazy then that's on me. why my family have to suffer with me? and also about Female's mother. she was a little bit bold but if you think Through then you may say that. she wasn’t wrong and Right. she was just Alright at thet moment. if you read my Review's this pert after finishing the drama then you will understand it better.


i watched Zheng Linghe's Performance on Love Between Fiery and Devil his performance was as expected and Ancy Deng! her performance was so Cool dude! i was just thinking, at that age what i was Doing ? maybe Writing My Homework ???

If you are looking for a High School Drama then i am highly recommend you, Flourish in Time ❤️‍?

You Won't Regret once you Start. Just do not expect Romantic Scene. without Kiss and Romantic Scene there is such a Greet Drama. I've never imagined as well...

Light and Youthful

Youth-themed dramas are pretty common in the land of cdramas so the only thing I'm looking for is the effectiveness of the storytelling. I have only watched 10 episodes so far but I like where this drama is going. It brings out the fun and pain of being a youth. I was also surprised that the main lead here is a person with disability. I had hesitation at first because I didn't want the drama to use it as a mere plot device but I like how they portray the main lead as someone very capable. I've also gotten tired of the naive, lovestruck female characters in your usual youth cdrama but there's something so endearing about the female character here--I just saw her as a relatable teenage girl who falls in love for the first time. I hope this drama ends well because I had a bad experience with tragic youth cdramas.

Our teenaged time

I am watching about 1/2 - 2/3 part.

When I watched my remembrance flied to my school and house, parents and sibling and our youth feeling. Good for new generation to watch and realizes that our world is full of color.

Suggestion is
1. It is for 13++ yo. So, the violent scene when Jiang HY and Lu Miao fought bastard gang, has to be soften. I think it is too hard for 13++, and more for high school 15++ aged.

2. Also,please shorten the scene in playing game.
Although what I like is they play China tambour /drum, not western theme.
I understand we tv or the publishing company has the biggest game vendor business.

Zhang LH shows much development in acting, he is like his first film,Maiden Holmes, can play very violent but also sentimental.
Deng Enxi is very very good sometime I think how she can be so agile and transforms to be Lu Miao so perfect.
Zhang is 23, Deng is 16. Their chemistry comes as if in real life.

I really love the scene when they have trouble, it seems a perfect team bro-sis or sibling kinship turns into romance relationship.

Great movie for teenager.

Love & Devotion

I really enjoyed this series and I am hoping that there’ll be a season 2. I read the reviews first before embarking and I’d say that this drama deserves high ratings! Personally, I think that this drama is a great drama which deserves to be watched!

What I liked:
- The young lead couple went through hard times as well as trials and tribulations to get to where they were — happily together at the end of the drama.
- The young lead couple’s devotion to each other was moving and very sweet.
- The secondary characters were quite adorable. Other than the “supposed beauty” of the school, there weren’t heinous villains. Shi Che, Guo Guo and Xie Zi Ye were cute. Their friendship made me envious.
- The characters were realistic and believable. They acted well enough.
- Happy ending for all the characters in general. Good to see that Jiang Hao Yue’s father turned over a new leaf in the end.
- Slice of life drama which was realistic and believable.

What I was shocked by:
- I didn’t know that there would be a serious issue in this drama. I blame Jiang Hao Yue’s mother for his grievous accident. If she hadn’t left him, he would have been fine.

Overall, I’d say: Watch. This is a well-made drama with ups and downs. I enjoyed it. It’s better than many other dramas out there. It made me wistful for my teen/ young adult years. Must carpe diem and enjoy all moments as much as possible.

bittersweet reality wrapped up in youthful sweetness

I'm pleasantly surprised with how raw this drama felt. I thought this will be another cutesy, angsty and full of youthful energy drama but it's more than just that.

I love the balance - when focused on the youth, the story is leaning more towards innocence, studies, and having fun (except for our poor Jiang Haoyue of course ?); while the adults' story is very real and heavy. This makes Flourish in Time a perfect drama to watch with the entire family. Oftentimes, adults would want to shield their children from the early exposure to the realities of life which is why JHY's story is absolutely gut-wrenching. I hate to think any child would go through life like that but I know it's real. The drama was able to convey that without ruining the lightness of a youth drama.

I like that JHY's father had a redemption arc, so did Su Daifei. It's also refreshing that somehow 2 of the leads didn't have partners at the end, and didn't just magically found a partner in the final ep. I also love Ziye and Shi Che's dynamics, they'd make a cute couple. And personally, I'd easily fall for Qu Wei lol he's a nerd but also has a comparably high EQ and i love his humor. He's a very well-written character.

Zhang Linghe's naturally soft and innocent aura is a double-edged sword for me. He's definitely lovable but this is the 4th time (LBFAD, MJTY, SOKP) I've watched him in a dysfunctional family and so emotionally and mentally troubled because of it. It's heartbreaking to watch especially with those soft dewy eyes ? Nonetheless he's done a really good job portraying Jiang Haoyue!

Solid story and acting from everyone = an amazing drama, Flourish in Time.

Great!

I really enjoyed this series. For once their isn't a pouting male who demeans females in this. Cast is great! It has very funny scenes in it. The cake scene was GREAT! Who can't relate to trying to out wit ones rival for a girl. How about liking a girl and afraid of letting them know it?? The ups and downs of school life in those early years is totally relatable.

Scenery is fantastic. It is nice to know that there are concrete jungles all over the world. School life (especially early years) are unforgettable. You remember that one friend throughout ones life. This is what this series remind me of.

This is my second time watching it.?????

Nice one

The drama was really nice, the story, the place, the characters, the acting, it was refreshing.
It lacked the romance imo,
maybe because the main actress was 16 years old, I kinda wanted to see some heart fluttering moments between them but they were more casual. More friendly feeling than romantic, like it didn't feel even a little romantic. Maybe if they had an actress who was a bit older then they could have made it romantic.

While the second couple (shi che and zi ye) was hinted and I was waiting to see them but, nothing actually happened even till the end, it makes me sad because they had great chemistry, much potential because the few moments they had were really really full of chemistry, I was waiting for them to become official but, disappointed. If they had become a couple they would have out shined. But then again they would have filled the lack of romance the main lead had and I would have been satisfied xD.

Also the side characters was also really good like you won't really end up hating anyone, no one is gonna get on your nerves.
I liked the character of Qu Wei a lot. Harry Potter in the muggle world.

I also liked how they shared their childhood memories in the last bit of episode, always something new and relating to that specific episode, didn't took time and you keep seeing a bit of history of their relationship when they were kids and how much they have changed or stayed the same.

I enjoyed while I watched, I was actually looking for some drama like "Go Ahead" even though much different but still there was a feel to it, so yeah Good for me.

I couldn't stop crying.

As someone who has a niece on crutches, I can't even. This was the sweetest. The characters both in their rights are so strong! I've never seen them in anything else the actors but they protrayed these characters well. The Lu Miao is a character we don't see in many female leads, her determination and compassion is something I feel all young female teens and even some of us adults need to watch and look up to. Yes, she slacks off, but she tries, she fights for her family and friends. I don't have one bad thing about her. Yes, there's some parts she doesn't get and she fights and argues about. But that's her innocence popping out because she just doesn't know, but she wants to understand. I feel like everyone has been like this.

As for Jiang Haoyue honestly, he's hurt. He puts up with his drunken father and his mother who, let's face it was embarrassed by her first born son because he came from Jiang Yi. Then what ticked me off the most about him was that he was going to leave Lu Miao and go abroad to be with her. As if Lu Miao's feelings didn't matter. I mean yes, it was a debt to pay off, but they genuinely cared about him. And for Lu Miao that didn't matter. They were family, and he was abandoning her for a woman who had abandoned him because she was ashamed of him. But his father was a lowlife, but that's because it seemed like no one had genuinely showed that they cared for him growing up (they didn't give much back story on him except the love story between him and Haoyue's mom), he knew he screwed up. And in case anyone overlooked it, him locking everything up and saying he burned his son's passport was his way of saying that he didn't want his son to go. And that he was trying. And of course happily Haoyue saw that. A mother shouldn't just leave a child for years in a toxic situation. She should've taken him with her. For that I'm glad she left she was horrible. I'm glad the show came to a close like it did. Sometimes romance isn't always the kissing or any kinds of physical intimacy more intense than a hug. Sometimes romance can be the start of one blossoming, the rekindling of a lost relationship, and just good friends. for me this show was 10/10. All the actors brought to life their characters very well. And I'd definitely have to watch this again. I wish they made a second season, to see how they continued. But honestly guessing what their life is like after these dramas are the best imagines you get to make for yourselves. This is the best C-drama I've seen yet and I will recommend it to my brother-in-law and wife for their daughter so she's not alone, even in a story.

Enjoyable sweet youth drama.

Flourish in time is a drama that feels enjoyable. It doesn't have one tone that sets the drama throughout, but mixes the tone throughout.

This drama does so well on is the plot and the characters. Sure the drama can feel slow at times, but it focuses on the two leads school/youth life. It is supposed to be slow and fun. The friendships they formed or the events they participated in was so enjoyable. But it is not just a typical youth drama focusing on their youth. The character background of Jiang Haoyue plays a huge factor into the plot and how his life is today.

Don't get scared that the two leads are "siblings" and develops more than that kind of love. It has an emotional story of how they become close to each other. The slice of life and drama are a great addition to the fun youth journey of the drama. It helps make the drama not become stale with just focusing on their youth. The interesting personal background of the leads and their families throughout the drama was good. The story it told as the drama progressed as well as how the characters would change was wonderful. The friendship here is actually satisfying. Each friend of the Jiang and Lu Miao felt like a real friend. Not one didn't feel annoying.

It was a shock to me to found out the female lead was very young at the time. It was the reason to why there isn't much romantic moments you expect like a kiss. This actually helped the drama because it balanced it out more. It connects the leads background story to the progress of their relationship. There is not much of romantic cliches like love triangles or forced teases. Sure both leads had a person other than the leads like them, but it didn't last long or the leads weren't dumb. This made it so refreshing to see because I hate it when one(usually the male lead) doesn't understand their feelings for the female lead. Right from the start to the end, Jiang Haoyue likes Lu Miao in a way where he interferes in Shi Che's attempts to win Lu Miao over. It was funny at times too instead of personal. Both leads never fell in love with another person except for each other.


It can't be a perfect drama without the OST. The opening song has a joyful mood and tone that is about their youth. The ending song has a feeling that focuses on the two leads love for each other. The other soundtracks used for the emotional moments in the drama were great as well.

I can't wait for the day when I want to go rewatch this drama again. It is just satisfying to watch it all over again. It has a tremendous plot for a youth drama with terrific characters. Flourish in time has become my favorite Cdrama of all time.

Sweet and sensible Youth Drama

From past few weeks i watched so many youth shows and by far this (and 2nd is summer again) beats all other shows in terms of overall story, acting and character arc.
ML with a heavy baggage but not cold just quiet , sensitive and FL issweet & a little childish but not overly done having her own thoughts trying to protect ML openly or silently. Loved Her family and his father arc too.
And most of all friendships depicted among 6 people. How it grew among them so naturally and we could see how each interacted and helped each other in different levels of friendship and ways. Most shows although they showed initially of becoming friends we do not see much on them interacting so personally . For ex: we can see Che showing why GuoGuo was selected and convincing him to just go ahead. ( except may be FL with her best friend in some shows. )
Even without much physical affection we could see so much love and care between leads. It is so sweet. Kudos to both actors.
i will definitely rewatch this show because most shows i had to skip a lot due to characters stupidity i couldnt stand. Here there is none,.
Only thing that could have been a little better is to know why SML was trying to pursue FL. I get that they had same taste with both of them reading same comics but it felt as if they could be buddies than romantic interest at any point in time so him thinking so much and instigating ML felt a little out of place although it was fun to watch them challenge each other.
